It's one of the beautiful places to visit where we can see a small lake close enough to sea and they are divided by the sands in middle so we can either swim in the lake or sea shore. But avoid swimming in sea since it's dangerous flag sign was there last time I vist. Better swim in the lake near to it. The lake is fine many people's also swim there and have fun 😊 one thing I don't like is some people's is throwing waste near to it especially plastics and food waste plese don't destroy places like this if you visit. Always carry waste bin on car or dispose waste on waste bin.

The natural beauty and soothing atmosphere make this place a favorite destination for those who like holidaying in a place that is free from the crowd. Also known as Kappil. Lake, Edava-Nadayara Lake is a huge freshwater lake situated just adjacent to the beach. This combination of an ocean and a lake is very hard to find. On one side you will see the beautiful blue water of the ocean and on the other, the greenish tinge looks beautiful and contrasting. The road in between these water sources is best for bike rides and long walks. This scenic landscape looks even more charming in the evening. Kappil beach is also known as one of the best-kept secrets of Kerala. The Golden sands of Sun covered beach and then the dazzling water of the Arabian sea gives you a fun vibe. There are thick casuarina trees which makes this spot more alluring. The long road which separates the beach and the lake runs for around one kilometer and riding on the road is one of the most blissful adventures I have taken to date.

Now the beach is somewhat crowded like dhanushkodi 😹 Before there's less people but this time, most of them are arriving with families and taking a bath, foreigners and north Indians are mostly be there. I've uploaded some pictures of the crowd.

Beautiful place. It's an estuary actually. You will feel the freshness when walk through the shallow water. Also if you have guts you can reach to spot where river meets the sea through rocks, but it's dangerous. No life guard is available here.

One of the best beach in Kerala. However it is littered now. Hope the people and authorities take care of this beautiful treasure

The sunset here is Wonderful and beautiful. You can see and enjoy back waters and see together. It is very beautiful.

This place is an absolute gem. The natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere make it a favorite destination for those seeking a crowd-free holiday. It's also known as Kappil Lake. A huge freshwater lake right next to the beach. It's a rare combination that's hard to find. On one side, you'll be mesmerized by the beautiful blue ocean, and on the other, the lush green lake creates a stunning contrast. The road that runs between these two water bodies is perfect for bike rides and leisurely walks. The scenery is even more enchanting in the evening. Kappil Beach is one of Kerala's best-kept secrets. The golden sands, the sparkling Arabian Sea, and the thick casuarina trees create a delightful vibe. Riding along the road that separates the beach and the lake is truly a blissful adventure.

Awesome place... Fabulous vibe... Parking facility is poor...

Kappil beach has become one of my most favourite beaches of all. The backwaters on one side & rocky beach on the other. Its one of its kind. For added serenity, watch a sunset from here. Its going to be the best.

Best spot for early morning and evening beach recreation. The sea and lake views gives serene vibes

The beach is located 4km from paravur junction.Most of the people mistaken this beach as varkala beach.This is not the typical beach which are seen mostly because it has both sea and lakh views and the road that passes inbetween is super .The beaches are completely occupied on sundays .One of the best beaches in kollam district.

Beautiful view and a best place to spend your holidays and free time .. And you can see safe sea waves and enjoy it

The beauty of the place is inexpressible... Its peaceful & at the same time mesmerizing ✨

nice beach where we can see both sea and kayal meets.

Best beach for couples

Very romatic and calm beach with pine trees and opposite to the beach there is a lake we the water is there only till knee portion . It was really quite enjoyable place . ❤️

Loved the ambience

Loved the place. There should be bus services to the beach. Loved every bit of it. Calm and beautiful. U can take beach bath. Flat beach

A beautiful place but you need to make sure your safety and a good couple spot 😉

A very nice experience of an estuary..Everybody who loves nature's beauty must this place...No entry fee ..We all enjoyed the spot very well...

Mesmerizing Beach.!! the beach is clean is alongside a backwater lake. Visit this place post 5pm and it wil leave you awe struck.

Nice rock beach.Especially in evening.But KAPPIL POZHI is a dangerous place!

The place is mostly amazing Beach and lake Boating , pine forest , photo shoot , swimming etc.... Mostly mind is relaxing ....

Nice place.. Lake and sea in a single place.. One side sea and other side is lake..

Kappil Beach is where the backwaters or the lake meet the sea. The palm tree lined road winds through the small villages with the sea on one side and the lake on the other. The whole line of beaches all along the road from Varkala to Kollam is beautiful. The beaches are clean, white sand, and nice breeze. Mostly uncrowded except Kappil Beach, which is a popular local spot. The waters are clear but can be dangerous because of the big waves and the current.

One of the best beach near to Kovalam where you can enjoy the view of backwaters on the other side of sea and sunsets are truly magical here This is and absolute gem of a place and a must visit place

A place where on one side of the road is ocean, and on other side is backwaters. Very good view , but overhyped a bit.

Great for a swim, the lifeguard won't give a damn. the water is shallow.This site is famous cause one of it's side is covered with a small lake and the other is the ocean. It's a very satisfying view to explore. Summer is a great time to visit.

Kappil beach 1 of the best beaches in varkala you can swim, bath , play on this beautiful beach, enjoy with kids. This beach has golden black sand and also has the big stones shore here you can enjoy both here . Great place to see the sunset. Must visit places in varkala. This place is 7 km from varkala beach you can take a auto from varkala beach to here in around 200-300 rs.

Kappil is always one of the best attractions because of the wonderful location. the road between the sea and lake is simply mind-boggling. abeach with very little crowd.... it is a place to visit on any day. there must be more facilities and shops

This beach was so peaceful and wonderful place to visit. We enjoyed this place with my friends.The best place to photo shoot is extremely excellent and best ever for sun set . We was enjoying very much 💯.

When we came on tour we were not allowed to bathe in Varkala beach so we came to bathe at the beach. It was nice to bathe here and there was no police surveillance More locals come in the evening. All the tourists enjoyed playing and bathing on the beach In the evening there are vendors selling ice cream, pani puri, corn and snacks. The beach on the island was very nice.

Kappil Beach is a scenic coastal destination located in Kerala, India. The beach offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea and the surrounding landscapes. Its tranquil atmosphere and pristine shores make it an ideal spot for relaxation and rejuvenation. The golden sands, gentle waves, and stunning sunsets make Kappil Beach a must-visit for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts.

By the left u have river and by the right u have sea. Awesome place.

It is beautiful. However, completely isolated, visit during day. Not recommended for solo women traveler during late hours. Not well kept, garbage around.

One of the best and beautiful places visited resently. Most underrated places ig. Its family friendly and safe to go there. We can enter the water without any caution. The water level is low. Disclaimer: Dont forget to bring trousers for entering the beach or else u will regret😅 (words from experience 😌)

Nice place chill out at evenings Nice climate Rocks and nature of the beach makes its more beautiful Its very clean and roads to beach are very good The road gives very nice scenery

I must say indeed the best one I have visited.. Would really prefer more than kovalam Or varkala in terms of scenic beauty.. Wonderful estuary view With pine trees between estuary and sea.. One can literally walk near the junction of sea with the lake.. Disadvantage: Avoid noon time No nearby good hotels or rest room, so take care of it prior to reaching the beach.. Still 5 star just for the beauty this Beach possess.. Such a potential beach, but sorry to say underutilized

You will find a little back water also near to this beach where you can swim also.. it is one of the biggest beach of Varkala 5 to 6 km outside the city centre

Here you can enjoy the beauty of both sea and the backwaters. The beach is not usually suitable for swimming but the backwater is . The backwaters doesn't have much water except in rainy days. It is a good place to spend evenings together with friends and family.

A place not to miss if you’re in Varkala! You get to see the backwater on one side and the sea on the other. Lovely place. The best time to visit, is sunset or early morning!

Nice place for couples

Really Good beach.. The place were lake and sea mix. Rare scenario. ❤️

Simply awesome.

We were in the Varkala town to visit the famous Varkala beach and visited Kappil beach on our hotel receptionist's recommendation and it was worth it. This is almost 7-8 kms from the Varkala beach and not that much crowded. But it is really amazing. The beach is very clean and have the scene of raving sea on one of its side while a calm and serene lake on the other. There are some water sports and activities available in the lake but we did not focus much on finding about them as the activity seemed less due to Wuhan virus pandemic. We spent an hour here during our return journey to Kochi but it left a lasting impression for us.

Great spot

An amazing place to drive in between the sea and the lake! The beaches here are almost empty and are very clean!

Beautiful beach...beautiful sunset...Not very clean... Mostly not crowded... Ample parking space... Almost 8 Kilometers away from Varkala in Thiruvananthapuram, lies the tranquil haven of Kappil. Kappil is a beautiful beach-backwater destination located near Varkala, the famous tourist spot. A drive through Kappil is as scenic as it can get; the road is flanked by the azure blue of the Arabian sea on one side while the serene waters of Edava Lake is on the other. The long coconut palm groves swaying in the winds, the golden sandy beaches and the rocks shielding the shores from the waves make it a perfect beach destination. The backwater ride is another interesting option for recreation. Enjoy a ride on the houseboat and see the distant sun setting in the horizon or the simple village lives of the fishing community. Row / pedal boats are also available. Visiting Kappil beach gives double the pleasure of beach and backwaters. Kappil is a confluence of the sea, river and the backwater which make it more heavenly. The beach is now protected by a seawall. Take a boat ride through the serene backwaters and see glimpses of rural life and the lifestyle of fishermen. The Priyadarshini Boat Club run by the DTPC offers boating facilities here.

Beautiful place to be with family and not very crowded also.

Do u want a break from damn work pressure, just ride around there. Chill out!!
